i dont know whether you guys can see the vid in the first link as its a BBC website but it shows the jump from several cameras and differant angles.
and the guys that did the jump are local flyers to the area and are well respected in the community, so i doubt they would try and pull a hoax. its
not in their interest.

Mad vid ... I'm surprised the safety nazi's a. allowed him to do it and b. didn't try to ban the sport on the spot after witnessing the act ...
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

Amazing kite control too....most of those insane kinda things are rarely landed!
I balled the heck out of myself twice last winter just trying to jump over my lines....on the ground - attached to a parked kite.
